re: The LSU / Les Miles TV dramedy continues....

quote:RogerTheShrubber LSU is a notch below elite. Until the offense is fixed, I doubt you will see another defense to carry LSU like you did in 2011. The offense kept LSU from a title then, and it will in the foreseeable future if it doesn't change.

LSU's offense has a random feel like the staff is drawing plays from a hat. The defense will only carry them so far

I think that most football fans, commentators would disagree with your opinion of LSU being a little less than an elite program...

Seriously curious to hear this from a Miles supporter.... Do you believe that the LSU FB team plays to it's full potential? If not, on a scale of 1-100, at what level of performance do you think this LSU team regularly plays with respect to the talent-level, resources available, coaching decisions, etc? Simply stated, what level of performance do you think this coaching staff gets out of the players (effort, game plan, game day decisions, etc.)?

quote:My entire family and many of my friends are die hard Tiger fans and share the opinion that the programs current level of success seems to come in spite of Miles game-day decisions rather than because of them. Most would be terrified to see Chavis get tired of carrying the load and leave. None of these friends and family are on the Rant, so it's certainly not just here.

This is the basis of my OP. Miles supporters don't have to agree with these views or even give a shite if there are fans that feel this way. But to say they're not out there & growing in number is inaccurate.

quote:You know Miles has won a lot of games over his career and even a National Championship before Chavis showed up?

Well aware, I didn't jump on the bandwagon in 03. That in no way negates my concern over the game-day decisions of the coach or concern over defense having to carry the load. Does the team win that Championship that you mention with the offense of the past few years?

quote:I am not setting the definition, merely making the point that most other college football fans and commentators would view our program as elite

If there is no definition of "elite" I can say the exact opposite with just as much accuracy.

You are completely incorrect about how our fanbase is viewed across the CFB landscape. I have been all around the country represting and following LSU. Literally, almost universally LSU fans are held in the highest regard.

Clemsons defense gave up OVER 400 yards a GAME this season but LSU couldn't get 2 when it counted the most. PLUS they were WINNING by 11 at the start of the 4th quarter. How could ANYONE be picking rathers....................LSU LOST. THAT'S what matters. NOT Florida.
